Benefits of Bottleback’s Corporate Deposit Scheme
Implementing a deposit return scheme in your organisation goes beyond recycling—it’s a step towards a cleaner, more sustainable future while delivering financial and social benefits.
Achieve EU
recycling targets
The Single Use Plastics (SUP) Directive is the driver for the introduction of Deposit Return. Ireland has to achieve the EU recycling targets of 77% by 2025, and 90% by 2029 and Deposit Return is a proven successful solution to achieving these targets.
Protect our
environment
Organisations around Ireland has the opportunity to play their part in leading us towards a more sustainable future by valuing our resources and increasing recycling rates.
Reduce litter
and waste
We will help reduce litter and waste nationwide and move towards a cleaner more sustainable Ireland.
Circular Economy
initiative
As a circular economy initiative, the new Deposit Return Scheme aims to move away from the ‘take make and dispose’ culture to one of returning valuable materials, and keeping them in the economy for as long as possible.
Companies can make
a difference
Organisations can use this opportunity to do good by donating their returned deposits to charities, fundraising to local drives or to support corporate ESG initiatives.
